I think it would be useful to get the attached patch into 2.7.3.

It is a fix to ensure that all transaction are always either commited 
or aborted. Previously if an error bubbled up to Zope's publishing 
machinery during execution of the publishing error handler then the 
transaction was not aborted. (It would have been aborted from the begin 
of the following transaction but that has been recently advertised as 
non-ideal.)

It is the same patch that I have posted before to zope-dev. This one 
though includes a test for that. Chris has replied off line and is 
comfortable with this.

I've been using this in testing sessions using latest of 2_7-branch - 
includes ZODB fixes from Tim. So far it seems that this patch is a 
pretty important step to ironing out a lot of the problems with 
sessions.

Any objections?
